Just wrapping up the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns and I have divided the Regular Army of the AFFS into five Commands (National, Training, Regional, Independent, and Militia) which I think fits nicely. Also it sounds very Star League which is another theme of the pre-war Davion military.

Wouldn't you need a Royal part?

National. Basically you can see Commands are termed for their deployment style or range. Personnel except for the March Militias are drawn from the Federation as a whole unlike the FWL say.

Yes but in theory any of the Regional Commands can be moved around the Suns, its just the AFFS's senior officers don't want them too.

Yeah I'm working on finishing up here and I like the outline we got.

Good point CJvR and could this be another reason why the Davions chose an assault on Capellan space rather than Draconis space? Available Forces. The Draconis March has a total of 24 Mech Regiments naturally stationed therein while the Capellan March has 27 Mech Regiments. Not much of a difference I know but it is still something. The Syrtis Fusiliers weighing in at 6 Mech Regiments are a potent weapon that the Combine front naturally lacks. So the ease of assembling such an invasion force could be another reason for attacking Liao rather than Kurita.
